My first time hiking Pima Canyon and Mount Kimball. Pretty area. Trail is in good shape. It could use some trimming, but just nuisance branches. Nothing serious.

When we left Chandler it was cool, overcast and sprinkling rain. By the time we got halfway to Tucson the clouds were gone and sunny skies prevailed. We didn't get started hiking until almost 930 AM. It was already about 90 degrees. A warm hike up. The last couple miles up it cooled off with a nice breeze. We saw Jim H on the summit and chatted for a few minutes before departing.

The trek down was a bit toasty. I haven't had a chance to acclimate to the heat and I felt it. Overall a good hike. I probably won't do this one again midday in June. An early start would have improved conditions dramtically I'm sure.

We stopped for tacos then cherry dipped cones after. Excellent trip. Thanks for driving John!
